Here is my Mastodon handle: @dom96@mastodon.social (I still feel like I should instead link directly to my profile, isn't it easier to follow then? https://mastodon.social/@dom96 https://mastodon.social/@dom96).
Definitely new to Mastodon. If anyone has any good instance recommendations I'd appreciate them :)
- sundarurfriend 4y ago> isn't it easier to follow then? Not on mastodon.social, unfortunately. (Unless the reader also happens to be on that same instance.) In most other instances, linking to the profile would allow us to click on the follow button on that page, login to our instance in the new window that pops up, and follow you from there. mastodon.social uses this new UI that doesn't do any of that, instead just tells you to copy-paste the address into our instance's search bar (opening it ourselves). So @dom96@mastodon.social is not any different from https://mastodon.social/@dom96 https://mastodon.social/@dom96 in this case - in both cases we have to do the same thing, paste it into our instance's search bar, to be able to follow or interact in any way.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoOoh good point! I should try that form in the future thanks.
